CDN that seems really low for a Turbo V6. Is that with 91 to 93 octane? You a boost junky? ;)

I am using the lowest octane at the pump I think 87. Also like to add that this is a newer engine not broke in yet.

You shouldn't use the lowest octane with a Turbo charged engine. It is going to cause the computer to lower the boost pressure and actually lower your gas mileage IMHO. You need premium fuel. That engine is designed for high compression and higher octane is needed for high compression engines.

Wow.. I'm  getting 15.5L / 100 km in my 2011 5.0L. I thought the eco boost would bet better mileage.

I hate how they do mileage in canada. I can never understand the liters per hundred and then they use the imperial mpg which is stupid...no said car does not get 60 mpg lol...

Please bear in mind that we are an international community - and I may add - the ONLY country among our peer group that has NOT adopted the metric system in part or in whole.
Not saying who is right or wrong...but that is my point. We are all subject to forces greater than we as individuals can affect.
So - let's try not to offend anyone, from anywhere else - just because their politicians see things differently than some of us. We kinda live in a glass house - don't cha think?  ;) ;D
